I’ve wanted to be an actor pretty much my entire life, but I have debilitating perfectionism and struggle a lot with true vulnerability. My family and friends know I want to act and are supportive, but somehow it’s my own brain that keeps stopping me. I’ve started taking small steps. I also write and finally submitted…

If they were making a Mount Rushmore of actors and actresses, who would be the four faces chiseled into the Hollywood Hills? We're talking a commitment to their craft that in many ways changed the medium, putting their indelible stamp on the art that left everyone else in their shadows?I would say, given their range a…

I'm a SAG actress with a handful of studio/network credits that range costar, supporting, and lead along with some leads in successful indies.

I’m 34 and have been acting professionally for about three years, but acting has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I never seriously pursued it until I appeared on my first national game show.

How do you manage filming audition tapes when living with other non actors? We have quiet hours starting at 10pm bc they have full time jobs and need to be up early.

I tried to split my rambling into paragraphs but the question is at the end. I could use some perspective from people who have been in the industry longer than I have.

Pretty much at rock bottom. Getting help for it. I was born an actor and a singer.

I hear it all the time that the “traditional” pipeline for actors is dead.

IMDb could make a significant amount of money by letting actors pay to suppress specific credits from their main profile.
